Michelle Chung has asked: Like Benjamin, my formative years coincided with the rise of Pauline Hanson. Being hated by complete strangers based purely on my appearance was extremely upsetting for my young soul. Although I haven't personally experienced any overt racism since that dark period, I think our national pysche still stubbornly refuses to accept the pivotal role that immigrants have played in the story of modern Australia. The Cronulla riots and violence against Indians in recent years are two examples that spring to mind. Do you agree, and if so, why do you think this is happening?
